Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Inside a tall tower, Nagato sat quietly, gazing at the rain in a daze.

He didn't know how long had passed when the sound of the door opening behind him pulled him back from his thoughts.

He slowly turned his head, a smile forming on his lips.

"You're back?"

"Yeah."

Konan, with her long blue-purple hair, walked in, raindrops falling on her body, yet seemingly having no effect.

She slowly walked behind Nagato, then looked out at the rain, finally nodding slightly.

"The matters in Konoha are basically settled, and the negotiations with Konoha are mostly complete.

Konoha will invest more in the Land of Rain, and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Sand Village will also welcome a new Kazekage.

This Kazekage is highly likely to be Pakura, someone we are all familiar with. This is a good thing for both Konoha and the Land of Rain."

Konan briefly recounted their gains in Konoha. This assistance from the Land of Rain to Konoha, while perhaps not as effective as imagined,

at least showed where they stood. One can fully imagine that Konoha's support and investment in the Land of Rain will increase even more.

"The Land of Rain will have better development in the future."

Nagato couldn't help but nod slightly after hearing this, this was the most desired thing in his heart!

The Land of Rain achieving new development, whether proving Hidezawa's plan or realizing his own desire for peace in the ninja world, was an excellent sign.

However, he quickly shook his head, looking at Konan with some helplessness.

"You just got back, and I didn't even get to say 'Welcome home' before you started talking about work. You..."

"Sorry, this time is important for both the Land of Rain and us."

Konan paused for a moment, then a smile bloomed on her face.

"Thank you, I'm also very happy to be back."

But as she said this, Konan suddenly faltered, feeling like she couldn't even continue her sentence.

She looked up at the rain outside the window, lost in thought for a moment.

"It's good to be back."

Unfortunately, Nagato didn't notice Konan's momentary lapse, his face still full of smiles.

But soon, his smile was replaced by helplessness.

"But it's a bit of a pity, I'm afraid you'll be even more tired later."

"Mm?"

Konan was somewhat puzzled, not knowing what Nagato meant. Nagato quickly explained the situation of the meeting, finally shaking his head helplessly.

"So, in the coming time, I'm afraid you'll have to travel back and forth to Konoha frequently, not only to provide Konoha with information from the Akatsuki,

but also to urge Konoha to make choices, to give some real information, so that Obito Uchiha and the others trust us more.

Of course, the most important thing is to warn Konoha to guard against Orochimaru and the others stealing corpses, and even possibly to stop them.

Konan, your task is important and very tiring, and you also have to be careful of Master Jiraiya. Thank you for your hard work in the future."

"Hard work?"

Konan stood quietly by the window, listening to Nagato's words without the slightest frustration. On the contrary, her eyes became brighter and brighter!

"Frequent... trips to Konoha?"

"Yes, if you think this is troublesome and dangerous, then I can ask others..."

Nagato was unsure of Konan's emotions, so he planned to make some trade-offs, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Konan.

"No need, leave this kind of thing to me. I'm familiar with them, so it's easier to handle."

"Is that so?"

Nagato paused, hesitatingly opening his mouth.

"Actually, Konan, you don't need to sacrifice so much. We still have many of our own people."

"But they can't handle these things as well as I can."

Konan shook her head, her expression resolute, and without giving Nagato a chance to go back on his word, she turned around and smiled slightly.

"I'll go wash up first, then get a good rest. We'll all be busy in the future."

After saying this, Konan turned and walked out of the tower, leaving Nagato alone sitting there.

"Thank you for your hard work, Konan."

After a long while, after Konan left, Nagato sighed quietly.

In his opinion, Konan had really sacrificed too much for the Land of Rain.

Whether they had gone down the wrong path before, or whether they were now back on the right track, it was all inseparable from Konan's silent dedication.

Without Konan, who knows what the Land of Rain would have become!

"Moreover, if it weren't for Konan's suggestion to try to win over Hidezawa, I'm afraid there wouldn't be everything we have today."

Turning his head, Nagato once again looked at the rain, his heart full of emotion.

However, at this moment, he felt something different in his heart.

"Why do I feel like Konan has become a little different since she came back this time..."

Land of Fire, inside Konoha Village.

On the bustling streets, trees and plants in the dense forest provided shade.

The bright sunshine shone on Konoha, green leaves dancing lightly in the wind, casting uneven shadows on the ground.

Inside the Hokage's office, Tsunade put her feet up on the desk, leaning lazily in her chair, holding a scroll in her hand and reading.

"Teacher..."

Her appearance left Hidezawa somewhat dumbfounded.

"You're the Hokage, can't you be a little more mindful?"

"Tch, do I need you to teach me how to do things?"

Tsunade glanced at Hidezawa with dissatisfaction, but spoke seriously.

"By the way, I've already consulted with the Hyuga clan, and their attitude is not bad, and they agreed to take out the ancient books.

But unfortunately, they don't seem to have any more information to give us, but now it seems that you have more things here."

"The situation on their side is not surprising. From the fact that they possess the Byakugan but use Gentle Fist, one can see many problems."

Hidezawa nodded, too lazy to care about Tsunade's current appearance, anyway, he still found it quite pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, he was really not surprised by the news Tsunade told him.

The Hyuga clan probably really had nothing left!

"Any family with a bit of ambition would think about how to rise again after encountering such a situation.

But unfortunately, I didn't see any such qualities in the Hyuga, perhaps it's hidden very well.

Or perhaps, they have already despaired and no longer have such thoughts."

"Are you saying that they have completely lost this information, and even if they hide it, it's useless?"

Tsunade tilted her head and thought for a moment, and soon she nodded in agreement.

"Perhaps that's really the case, but it's really sigh-worthy."

Hiding it but not having any actual actions, there are only two possibilities.

One is that this information cannot be shown to others at all, and the other is that they themselves have given up.

Of course, it is also possible that they plan to find a way secretly, but the current Hyuga really can't see any signs of change.

However, Tsunade frowned again as she looked at the scroll Hidezawa gave her.

"But speaking of which, what's going on with you here? There's no way to investigate, are their origins that mysterious?"

"That's just how it is. I've already used the outer organizations of Root to understand everything, but in the end, this is the only result."

Hidezawa shrugged, seemingly somewhat helpless about the current outcome.

"The situation of the Hyuga is probably more complicated than we imagined, and I even suspect that they weren't even in the ninja world back then."

"Not in the ninja world?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes upon hearing this. If not in the ninja world, then where else could they be?

But before Tsunade could open her mouth, Hidezawa suddenly continued.

"Don't find it unbelievable, the Rabbit Goddess is a legend, aren't the Six Paths Sage also characters in myths?

But the facts prove that they both exist, even we all possess their bloodline, and he even left a stone tablet for the Uchiha.

So, can we boldly assume that the ninja world is not an isolated island, and there are many places we haven't discovered.

Besides, the identity of the Hyuga clan's ancestor is also worth studying. Only by understanding more problems can we understand all of this, right?"

These words directly stifled everything Tsunade originally wanted to say.

In fact, thinking carefully, Hidezawa's words were not wrong.

It's just that she found it hard to imagine, besides the ninja world, where else could the Hyuga hide?

That wasteland? Please, besides the sea, it's all wasteland, and no one can survive.

Could it be, the moon?"

Tsunade spread her hands, but as she said this, she herself froze.

"Why can't it be?"

Hidezawa was also somewhat surprised that Tsunade actually said the correct answer, but that was fine too.

"Actually, we have always overlooked one thing, the moon.

I once heard a legend that the moon originally didn't exist in the ninja world at all.

And the moon was clearly recorded in the era of the Six Paths Sage thousands of years ago, and don't forget one thing.

The place in the Six Paths Sage's stone tablet that was tampered with mentioned the 'Eye of the Moon' plan.

Then..."

"The moon, hides more things?"

Tsunade couldn't sit still now, she stopped maintaining her previous lazy appearance and sat up straight.

"Isn't this too outrageous? The moon is so far away from the ninja world, how could it be...?

Wait, do you mean space-time ninjutsu? But it seems like this is a way, it's really simple to transfer through space-time ninjutsu.

The moon, could it really be here?"

"I don't know, but the probability is probably not small."

It was really comfortable for Hidezawa to talk to someone like Tsunade.

Don't look at her with a cynical attitude, seemingly full of faults, but the fact that she can sit firmly as Hokage already shows that her thinking ability is definitely not bad.

Hidezawa just mentioned it simply, and she could quickly think of many possible possibilities herself, which really saved Hidezawa too much trouble.

"But this will be a direction for us to explore well, right?

If we can really find it, it will be of great help to us, so..."

"No money!"

But before Hidezawa could finish speaking, Tsunade suddenly looked at Hidezawa warily.

"Investigation is okay, you can use resources as you like, but no funds!"

"..."

Hidezawa opened his mouth, suddenly feeling that his evaluation of Tsunade was a bit too high.
